TL;DR: Pitradev arranges Satyanarayana Pooja (Satyanarayan Vratham/Katha) at your home in Bangalore by experienced Kannada purohits. Two packages available: Standard at ₹5,100 (1 purohit, most samagri included) and Grand at ₹21,000 (2 purohits, complete decoration and all alankar items included). The ceremony follows the traditional Karnataka vidhi with Ganapathi Pooja, Sodasa Upachara Pooje, Satyanarayana Katha Shravana, and Mahamangala Aarti. Tamil and Telugu purohits also available.
In Karnataka tradition, Satyanarayana Pooja holds a unique place — it is the one puja that fits every occasion. A new home, a new job, a birthday, a recovery, a Purnima, the completion of a vow — whatever the reason, Satyanarayana Pooja is the ceremony families turn to for expressing gratitude and seeking continued blessings from Lord Satyanarayana, a form of Lord Vishnu.
Unlike many pujas that require specific muhurats or planetary alignments, Satyanarayana Pooja can be performed on any day, making it the most accessible and frequently performed ceremony in Kannada households. Purnima (full moon day) is traditionally preferred, but the pooja is valid and auspicious on any date the family chooses.
For Kannada-speaking families in Bangalore, finding a purohit who performs the Satyanarayana Vratham in the proper Karnataka sampradaya — with the correct Sodasa Upachara, the Katha Shravana in the traditional form, and the familiar rhythm of the mantras — is essential. Pitradev arranges experienced Kannada purohits who perform the complete vidhi at your home with all samagri included.
Best for: Regular Purnima pooja, birthday, anniversary, recovery, promotion, or any occasion where the family wants the complete vidhi in a simple and traditional setting.
What you get:
What you arrange:
This is the most popular package and suits the majority of occasions. The purohit brings the core samagri, you arrange the prasad items and household items, and the ceremony is performed with the full traditional vidhi without shortcuts.
Best for: Grihapravesh day Satyanarayana Pooja, major family milestone, silver or golden anniversary, completion of a significant vow, or any occasion where the family wants a visually grand and fully managed ceremony.
What you get:
What you arrange:
That is all. The purohits bring everything else — the flowers, the fruits, the dry fruits, the decoration, and every item needed for the ceremony. You simply prepare the space, and the purohits transform it into a beautifully decorated pooja setup.
This package is chosen by families who want the ceremony to look and feel special — the kind of pooja where the photographs alone tell the story. The grand decoration with traditional alankar creates a temple-like atmosphere in your living room.
Whether you choose the Standard or Grand package, the vidhi follows the same traditional sequence:
In the Grand package, this narration is more detailed and unhurried, with the purohit explaining the deeper significance of each chapter.
Satyanarayana Pooja can be performed on any day, but certain occasions are traditionally preferred:
Purnima (Full Moon Day) — The most auspicious day for Satyanarayana Pooja. Many Kannada families perform it on every Purnima or on specific Purnimas throughout the year.
New home — After Grihapravesh, many families perform Satyanarayana Pooja either on the same day or within the first week. For families planning Grihapravesh puja by Kannada purohit in Bangalore, the Grand package at ₹21,000 which includes both the decoration and extended pooja is the ideal choice.
Birthday or anniversary — Performing Satyanarayana Pooja on the birthday of a family member or a wedding anniversary is a tradition many families follow.
After recovery from illness — As a thanksgiving to Lord Satyanarayana for restored health.
Promotion or new job — Seeking continued blessings after a career milestone.
Completion of a vow (Harake) — When a prayer has been answered, performing Satyanarayana Pooja fulfils the promise made to the Lord.
Festivals — During Diwali, Ugadi, Ganesh Chaturthi, or any other festival when the family wants to worship at home.
There is no restriction on how many times the pooja can be performed. Some families do it monthly on Purnima, some do it once or twice a year, and some perform it specifically when a significant event occurs.
Bangalore is a city of many traditions, and Pitradev serves families across all of them:
Kannada families — Kannada purohit performs the Satyanarayana Vratham as per Karnataka sampradaya with Sodasa Upachara and the traditional Katha Shravana form.
Telugu families — Telugu pandit in Bangalore performs Satyanarayana Vratham as per Andhra-Telangana tradition.
Tamil families — Tamil Iyer purohit in Bangalore performs the ceremony as per Tamil tradition.
North Indian families — Hindi-speaking pandit performs Satyanarayan Katha as per the UP-Bihar tradition.
The language and tradition preference is confirmed at the time of booking.
Space for Standard package: Approximately 4 by 4 feet of clear floor space. Any living room can accommodate this.
Space for Grand package: Approximately 6 by 6 feet for the decorated pooja setup. The purohits arrive 30 to 45 minutes before the ceremony to set up the decoration and alankar.
No havan in this pooja. Unlike Grihapravesh or Vastu Shanti, Satyanarayana Pooja does not involve a havan. There is no smoke or fire concern, making it perfectly suited for apartments, high-rises, and societies with strict fire rules.
Guest-friendly. Satyanarayana Pooja is a celebratory ceremony. Families often invite 10 to 20 guests. The Katha Shravana portion is something everyone participates in — listening to the stories and receiving the prasad at the end.
Timing. Morning (9 to 10 AM start) or evening (5 to 6 PM start) — both are suitable. Many families prefer evening Satyanarayana Pooja so that working family members and guests can attend after office hours.
